Plot

A violent bar fight leads to Carlos, Blacky and Jochen joining the crew of the ramshackle freighter 'Trinidad'. It turns out that the decrepit ship with its expensive cargo is about to be blown up as part of an insurance fraud devised by the unscrupulous criminal Frederic and his accomplice Diana. Everything changes after it turns out that Vera Anden, a millionaire's daughter, is also on board. Frederic is the secretary to her father, a rich businessman, and wants to extort a high ransom. But the three protagonists take command of the ship following a wild shootout off the African coast. During a scuffle to capture Diana and Frederic, the criminal mastermind is able to detonate an explosive device attached to the ship. The freighter sinks, but the three friends and Vera Anden manage to make it ashore, where the rogue couple is taken away in handcuffs by the Moroccan police.
